I'm glad to see that it looks like everyone made it out of that mess alive. I don't- I don't really know what to make of what we saw down there, but I can say this: I'm not really fond of a bunch of Gods that would put kids through something like that. That was bullshit.

I've got a bunch of boring paperwork you can read over.

[He nods, heading towards the street.]

Sounds good.
